Jimmy Garoppolo signed a three-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders just a year ago, but the organization recently released him, putting him back on the free agent market. He didn’t spend much time as a free agent, though.

Garoppolo is inking a deal with the Los Angeles Rams, according to an ESPN article published on March 15 on X.

The first two games of the Rams’ season will be missed by Garoppolo as he serves a suspension for breaking the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. He has never before been signed with the express purpose of serving as a backup.

One of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Matthew Stafford, led the Rams to the playoffs the previous season. Next season, Garoppolo will be his backup. After just one season with the Raiders, it’s obvious that he’s not a starting-caliber quarterback anymore, but as a backup, he’s rather valuable.

For a team like the Rams, having a backup quarterback who can win games in Stafford’s absence is crucial because of his injury history. In addition, Sean McVay, the head coach, is descended from Kyle Shanahan, who coached Garoppolo for the San Francisco 49ers for a number of years. The quarterback should find it simple to adjust

Is Jimmy Garoppolo’s Time as a Star Complete?
This offseason, there are a number of clubs without a fixed starter, including the Raiders. That none of those teams would take a chance on Jimmy Garoppolo to see if he still has juice is startling.

He won’t compete to start for the Rams unless Matthew Stafford is hurt. As a starter, Garoppolo still owns a 43-20 record and has already guided a team to the Super Bowl. Nevertheless, at the time of his benching, he had the most interceptions in the NFL with nine.
